Steiner symmetrization

Steiner symmetrization, one of the simplest and most powerful symmetrization processes ever introduced in analysis, is a classical and very well-known device, which has seen a number of remarkable applications to problems of geometric and functional nature. Its importance stems from the fact that, besides preserving Lebesgue measure, it acts monotonically on several geometric and analytic quantities associated with subsets of Rn. Among these, perimeter certainly holds a prominent position.

Steiner symmetrization is known not to increase perimeter of sets in Rn . The sets whose perimeter is preserved under this symmetrization are characterized in the present paper. 1. Introduction and main results Steiner symmetrization, one of the simplest and most powerful symmetrization processes ever introduced in analysis, is a classical and very well-known device, which has seen a number of remarkable applications to problems of geometric and functional nature.
